A complaint has been filed at the Chennai Police Commissioner’s office against actor and politician Vijay, alleging that he insulted Muslims during a recent Iftar event. The Tamil Nadu Sunnath Jamaat, which lodged the complaint, expressed strong disapproval over the participation of individuals unrelated to the religious observance such as drunkards and rowdies claiming it disrespected the sanctity of the occasion. They stated that the event, meant to promote goodwill, instead caused hurt to the community. Moreover, Vijay’s failure to express regret over the incidents has raised concerns about his sensitivity and respect for religious sentiments.
According to News 18, the Jamaat also highlighted previous instances of poor organization, such as Vijay’s first political state conference in Vikravandi, where inadequate planning led to attendees facing dehydration. Similar negligence at the Iftar event reportedly resulted in unfortunate outcomes. The Jamaat criticized Vijay’s approach, accusing him of treating people disrespectfully and employing foreign security guards insensitive to local sentiments. They emphasized that legal action is necessary to prevent such incidents from recurring and clarified that their complaint is not for publicity but to uphold respect and dignity in future gatherings.
Thalapathy Vijay is currently engaged in the shooting of his upcoming film ‘Jana Nayagan‘, which has been generating significant buzz among his fans. Directed by H Vinoth, the film is touted as an action-packed political drama and is being shot across various locations, with the production team focusing on delivering a compelling narrative.
